Total to offset carbon emissions in India with a bio-digester project
An encompassing strategy to mitigate carbon dioxide emission.
A bio-digester project in collaboration with GoodPlanet Foundation of France and SKG Sangha to reduce carbon dioxide emission was initiated by Total at Telangana.
8400 units spread across multiple villages reaching out to around 50,000 peoople to conduct safety training for mould workshops and user families, studying performance of bio-digesters (gas analysis, metering of generation/ consumption etc)
Encourage the usage of biogas instead of wood and LPG
The bio-digester project with about 30 units commissioned led to villagers being trained about the increase in quality of life with introduction of clean fuel, construction and operation of digesters, cooking with bio-gas, etc.
Increase
in economic opportunity
We will manufacture some 80 molds for the project. Bio-digester is a simple structure with a concrete tank in the ground, a dome to collect bio-gas generated through an inlet/outlet arrangement.
100 biodigesters can be made from finished moulds by each villager

Biodigesters create biogas
They are concrete tanks used for fermenting organic material. Methane-producing microbes synthesize the biogas (CH4) during the fermentation process. Biodigesters have three parts: -an inlet tank -a fermentation tank -a digestate storage tank.
Benefits for the environment:
Reduction of deforestation.
Benefits for the community:
Women and children save time collecting fireword-or even stop altogether.
Benefits for the health:
By decreasing the risk of respiratory and eye infections caused by indoor air pollution, it improves the living conditions of local populations, especially women and children.
Benefits for the economy:
Lessens the need to buy cooking fuel and synthetic chemicals to fertilize the soil.
The biodigester has changed
our lives a lot...
The project meets 15 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) issued by the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
I would like everyone to be as happy as we are.
